Last Friday we attended the preseason game for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. The evening featured a sampling of the offerings of the
forthcoming season which gets underway this Thursday.

I used the sports analogy because in addition to our beloved
Orioles and Ravens, the BSO is a major league team. We are indeed fortunate to
have a world class orchestra with an “elite” conductor less than a half hours
drive from HoCo.

Marin Aslop rocks. If you haven’t seen her put the orchestra
through its paces, and you love music as I do, you owe it to yourself to catch
at least one of their concerts.

There is a real HoCo connection to the BSO too, as a few of
the orchestra members make their home here and contribute to the HoCo loco
music scene as well. For instance, according to her bio on the orchestra
website, violinist Wonju Kim is “a founding member of Music in Common,
a Columbia-based concert series devoted to building new audiences for chamber
music that was created by her late husband, Daniel Malkin.”
